Country Merry Little Village Doctor

It may rain heavily.

Along with the rumble of thunder, the downpour began. The rain was pouring, almost like a terrifying thunderstorm.

Abedo was sitting in his seat, surrounded by people who had traveled far away. It was better to say they were people from the Luce family in disguise.

There are no real passengers in this entire carriage, they are all their own people.

Just like he said.

This journey must be heavily guarded, because we have to be on guard against rats that come to steal oil.

The train had started and made a rumbling sound. Albedo looked at the heavy rain outside the window. He would get up from time to time to take a look, which fully demonstrated his inner instability.

A small trolley passed by, and Albedo picked up a cup of coffee on it, then threw out a large bill. He drank the coffee in large gulps, hoping to clear his head.

"This damn espresso tastes awful."

After a few sips, he began to feel bad about the drink, and his eyes swept over the salesman on the cart.

He looked at everything now as if he were looking at those mice, but what about those mice? Why haven't you shown up yet?

In another section of the carriage, several people dressed as priests and nuns were sitting.

Father Long Yunfei looked out the window and sighed, "It rains as fast as it wants."

Su Chen smiled and said, "Who knows what the situation is? Which carriage are they in?"

"Wait until Wang Dali comes back."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will arrive.

Wang Dali just walked back from there. He sat down and said with a smile, "I have already seen the first few carriages. They are basically tourists. I guess that Abedo and the others should be in the back carriages."

"Okay." Su Chen said, "Now we have roughly determined the direction."

At present, what they have to do is to determine the other party's location as soon as possible. Anyway, the train only has such a big area, and they will find the person sooner or later if they continue searching step by step.

"When will we act, Brother Su?" Long Yunfei said.

"Wait a little longer."

Su Chen said, "Now is not the most suitable time. According to Lance, their transaction should be in Bologna. I still have to think about whether it is the best time to do it in the car."

When doing it in the car, firstly, the space is relatively tight, so the other party must have deployed a lot of manpower, and they may not be able to succeed.

The second is to do it in the car. If they succeed, it's okay. If they don't succeed, they have no way out.

Are you going to Bologna?

It's a choice.

Su Chen's current situation is nothing more than chasing a duck to the shelf. They have been forced to reach this point little by little, without any choice.

What to do now.

Su Chen was weighing it in his own mind.

He looked at Shen Jiaran who was sitting opposite. Shen Jiaran was holding a book in his hand. He asked with a smile, "What are you reading, Reporter Shen."

Shen Jiaran shook the book in his hand and said, "Have you read The Merchant of Venice?"

"I've seen it." Wang Xiaohua raised her hand.

Everyone else looked at her, and she said tremblingly, "Why don't you think I read this book?"

"It's not that I don't believe it."

Long Yunfei said, "Look at the book in Reporter Shen's hand. It's all in Italian. Can you understand it?"

"Who says I don't understand?"

Wang Xiaohua said, "I have learned Italian anyway. The Merchant of Venice I watched back then was also in Italian, and the original version was the best."

"Okay." Su Chen said with a smile, "Since Xiaohua has read this book, then you can tell me what this book says."

For some reason, Su Chen felt a little troubled in his heart. He was in a foreign country and was restricted everywhere.

"Actually, this story is very simple."

Wang Xiaohua said, "It is a young and beautiful woman who obtained her father's inheritance according to the will."

"Her legacy shouldn't be simple, right?" Long Yunfei said.

"How do you know?" Wang Xiaohua was surprised, "Have you seen it?"

"I haven't read it," Long Yunfei said, "but I can imagine that it must not be that simple. Otherwise, how could I write this book?"

That's right.

As Wang Xiaohua narrated, this will was indeed not that simple, but contained three boxes of gold, silver and lead.

One of these three boxes contains a portrait of the woman herself. If a man can find this portrait in these boxes, she will marry this man.

Because this woman's family was wealthy, she attracted suitors from all directions.

Among them was a young man named Bassanio, who was determined to find this portrait of Portia.

But to realize this wish, he needed a lot of money, so he borrowed money from another businessman. This businessman's name was Antonio, and he asked Antonio for three thousand yuan.

At that time, three thousand yuan was a lot of money, and Antonio didn't have enough money to invest, so there was no way to come up with three thousand yuan at once.

But Antonio was very loyal. He was like a hero from Liangshan. He borrowed three thousand yuan from a loan shark and gave it to Bassanio.

But there has to be a price for borrowing money at usury, right?

The price is that if you don't repay the money for three months, you will have to cut off a pound of flesh to repay the money.

The results of it.

Three months later, Antonio's investment failed and he had no money to repay, so the loan shark took this unlucky man to court and wanted to cut his flesh from this ungrateful and unlucky man.

Venice is a city that attaches great importance to contracts. All members of society here need to do things in accordance with laws and regulations. No one has privileges or other worldly things.

So the loan shark side won the case directly, that is, he could cut Antonio's flesh.

But in the end, the meat was still not cut. Why?

"Why?" Long Yunfei asked. He was also puzzled. According to the laws in Venice mentioned earlier, no one can violate them because they are so strict. So Antonio's fate must have been miserable in the end.

Shen Jiaran smiled faintly, "Actually, this is because the original agreement between the two was only to cut off a pound of flesh, so during the execution, the judge requested that only the flesh be cut and not a drop of blood be left."

"If a drop of blood is shed, it will be considered murder."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. Long Yunfei was dumbfounded. He said, "Isn't this just taking advantage of the law?"

"No." Su Chen said, "This just shows the soundness of Venice's laws. Any slightest negligence must be made clear. I have decided that places like Venice really have no interest in doing anything. Let's talk about it in Bologna."
